[Title] => June 11 solar eclipse visible in RP
[Summary] => 
On June 11, early risers will see the sunrise in partial eclipse. This annular eclipse is the first of the two solar eclipses occurring this year.
A solar eclipse can occur at new moon when the moon passes between the Earth and the Sun. The moon orbits around the Earth once every 29-and-a-half days. However, a solar eclipse does not always happen every new moon.

[Title] => Stargazing at the park
[Summary] => The air was warm and humid. The temperature reached its maximum at 37 degrees and the breeze coming from the sea was salty. Any of these factors were enough to destroy the sensitive optics of telescopes.
But that did not prevent the members of the Philippine Astronomical Society (PAS) from setting up their telescopes at the Luneta Boardwalk right at the back of the Quirino Grandstand last May 15.

[Title] => When five planets align
[Summary] => Rizal Park promenaders witnessed a special kind of show last May 5. No, it was not the regular Concert At The Park held every Sunday at the Open Air Auditorium. Neither was it the Santacruzan that signaled the Maytime festival at the park.
The occasion was the first-ever astronomical observation held at Luneta Boardwalk right at the back of Quirino Grandstand organized by the Philippine Astronomical Society (PAS), in cooperation with the Philippine Tourism Authority.

[Title] => The sighting of Comet Ikeya-Zhang
[Summary] => I first learned about Comet Ikeya-Zhang from Dr. Armand Lee, a colleague at the Philippine Astronomical Society, when he invited me for a night of stargazing in Trece Martires, Cavite, last March 16. At that time the comet was up and visible in the western sky right after sundown. I turned down the invitation.

[Title] => The return of 15TH Century Comet: Comet Ikeya-Zhang
[Summary] => It’s summertime. The air is warm and the skies are clear. A perfect time to gather family members and friends and stay under the canopy of stars and watch the summer constellations and planets travel across the night sky.
And if you haven’t seen a comet, this is the best time for you to see one.
Comets, for superstitious folks, are nothing but omens of bad things to come. But for scientists, comets are pristine debris from the formation of the solar system 4.5 billion years ago.
